Welcome

Plant Genome and Systems Biology

The PGSB plant genomics group focuses on the analysis of
plant genomes, using bioinformatic techniques. To store
and manage the data, we developed a database, PlantsDB,
that aims to provide a data and information resource for
individual plant species. In addition PlantsDB
provides a platform for integrative and comparative plant
genome research.
